Who are the political leaders that evoke anger?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Anger is not evoked by others; it is a self-chosen suffering that arises from within. True compassion sees no enemies, only the opportunity to heal."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, no political leaders evoke anger; anger is self-chosen suffering. Politicians calculate words to please, true or false, but he speaks truth without considering approval. Neither politicians nor religious leaders can make him angry; he has no enemies, only compassion. If his words hurt, it's a surgeon's cut removing inner 'cancer'—painful yet healing—not anger.
No leader makes him angry; anger happens inside you, while his sharp words are like medicine that may sting but helps.
Why this matters practically
- Stop blaming others for your anger; notice and drop the inner burn.
- Value truth over comfortable lies, even when it stings.
- Respond with compassion, not reaction, when feeling hurt.
